ROSEANNE BARR

MEDIA WATCH
Mike Rinder, who works for Disney under the umbrella of ABC and A&E, continues his steady stream of racist jokes maligning me by mocking my Asian surname on his personal website with a slur that is also homophobic.
MEDIA WATCH
The American people are not stupid. Leah Remini’s stats are dismal for a reason. Every person who has talked to me about her show calls it stupid, self serving and frankly too ridiculous to be believed.
MEDIA WATCH
Do we need to tell you stories of distraught children disparaged at school for being Scientologists, of poison pen letters circulating in our parishioners’ neighborhoods, of our members being harassed on the streets?
MEDIA WATCH
“Religious intolerance does not mean one cannot express his own beliefs. It does mean that seeking to undermine or attack the religious faith and beliefs of another has always been a short road to trouble.” These words from the booklet The Way to Happiness – precept 18, “Respect The Religious Beliefs of Others”
MEDIA WATCH
If we cannot worship as we see fit—or not—then we are reduced to the level of animals forced into compliance with the non-option of having our spiritual beliefs chosen and prescribed for us by those who would deride and denigrate the deep and varied religious heritage of our country.
MEDIA WATCH
The appalling PR that would go along with another hate-filled season is self-explanatory: it’s a total affront to the right to practice whichever religion one chooses (whether Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Scientologist, Mormon, Catholic, Buddhist, Anglican… the list is endless).
MEDIA WATCH
I implore you to not support religious intolerance with your advertising dollars. Not only is the show dropping in viewership, but I imagine there are more fireworks ahead if Remini expands her horizons and attacks other religions as well.
MEDIA WATCH
This is ironic considering Disney, which owns 50 percent of A&E, immediately cancelled ABC’s Roseanne show due to her racist tweet, yet they turn a blind eye to A&E’s religious persecution of Scientologists. This is sanctimonious hypocrisy.
